Free Fatal Exposure by Lia Slater

them could be trusted. Sighing, she stepped into the pelting hot water and let the spray beat down her back. When had she become such a pessimist? Or was she a realist?
    Either way, it was lonely and depressing. Through the marbled glass shower door, she saw Kade’s large, distorted image walk into the bathroom. She held still, not sure if she wanted him to leave or to join her. Could she handle one last fling? Or would it only leave her craving something more? Something she realized he wasn’t willing to
    give. It had been painfully obvious the first couple of times he’d made that clear.
    “I’ll put the bucket of ice in the sink, Ava.”
    She liked the way he said her name. It felt familiar and warming. “Okay, thanks,” she answered, still immobile.
    For what seemed like an eternity, he stood there, just outside of the shower door. She couldn’t tell if he was watching her or not. She guessed there probably wasn’t much of her he could make out if his view was the same as hers.
    “What are you thinking about?” she asked over the noise of the running water.
    The blackness of his T-shirt fell out of sight, leaving the tan of his flesh. From what Ava could tell, his jeans dropped next.
    Her heart beat heavily as anticipation pulsed through her, making her breasts ache for his touch and her pussy grow warm with need.
    His hand pressed against the steamy glass and slid it open. He stepped in and moved toward her, only allowing Ava to close her eyes before he grasped the good side of her face with one hand and braced the other hand on the small of her back. His commanding mouth took control of hers and let her know how much he desired her.
    Ava reached for him, wanting to feel the mass of his chest, the firmness of his stomach. She dared to slide her fingers around his waist to run them over his tight buttocks. Water ran down her arms and onto his backside, making it slippery to the touch as she rubbed his firm ass.
    His skilled tongue tangled with hers, and she let her fingers crawl up his back, gliding lightly on the solid muscle.
    Her wet breasts crowded against his body. Their skin slithered smoothly together, making her nipples aroused and receptive. They pebbled into hard knobs against the coarse hairs on his chest.
    His erection grew stiff against her stomach, and the craving to explore every inch of him overwhelmed her. Having a mind of its own, her hand came back around and encompassed the velvety skin of his long, hard cock.
    She gently squeezed as she slid up and down his wet, slick shaft.
    His lips froze on hers as he drew in a breath. Ava dared to open her eyes and see firsthand the pleasure she gave him. A heavily lidded gaze stared back at her. The paleness of his blue eyes read more than just lust, and she shivered at the possibilities of what he could be thinking.
    In any case, exciting him awarded her more satisfaction than she’d ever imagined. She took in the sight of his pulsing erection ready to burst at her fingertips. Scrumptious .
    Wanting nothing more than to taste his warm cum, she shoved him against the far wall and kneeled at his feet, holding his thick length in her palm.
    “Jeezus, Ava.” The sound of her real name leaving his lips sent warm flutters to her belly. Glad this wasn’t over between them just yet, she licked the salty pre-cum from the tiny slit at the head his cock. Mmm.
    He hissed out a breath and visibly tensed the cables of his stomach muscles. “You don’t have to do this. It wasn’t what I’d intended.” He tilted his head.
    “You’re hurt. You should rest.”
    She ran her fingertips down the corded muscle that led to his groin. The man was perfection. And, for this precious moment, he was hers. She dared to meet his gaze. “I want to do it. I want you, Kade. All of you.”
    He gently cupped her injured cheek and nodded stiffly, his gaze never leaving hers. “Stop if you feel pain.”
    She shoved away the thought of how many other women had knelt before him
